The Dueck List

As promised, I will post a copy of the list of items we have on our list (I use the term "we" very loosely, as Hilary has done most of the list prep.... I hate lists, but apparently they are something that keeps some people organized)

This may bore half of you, and interest half of you, but we'd love feedback.  I know that a number of other parents in the adoption world have posted their lists, and we have compiled ours by taking much of what they have listed, and making it our own....  Enjoy.

    If you are wondering how we are going to get all this into 4 suitcases, that makes 2 of us...  We'll have to see how it goes as it all gets closer, but we may end up with an extra container just to get us all the way over there...

   So what does everyone think?  Too much?  What are we missing?  What are we bringing that we don't need to....Ruth?  Darci?  Jessa?  Got any more ideas for us :)
